Let Them In

A broken man was once a boy. Broken heart.Or broken school. Or broken home. And we start.To see him slip, down through the cracks, and then he cracks.And then he's broke, and then he breaks. A broken man has been made.

What happens, when the boy becomes a man?And the chains around his handsdrive him insane and change his plans?

for the life he was to liveno more hugging momsno kidsjust a wandered mind, a tragic time,he'll pay this fine til he's dead.

And us outside those wallssay it must be all their faultbut we don't look inside ourselvesto see weve been doing wrong

This that song for introspectionallow yourself time reflection.Is the person in the mirror more criminal than the rest in?

400 years, and the past is at our feetAnd the people on the streetsLook for fathers, they're all sweepedinto cells, 1/3Of descents of africansAre struggling thats no probsthey dont deserve to be freeO the horrors, the demiseTheres no men, but no surpriseA quarter of the worlds prison population us alivein our nations backyardnow we can do bettercause what we do todayIs how we're remembered forever

In - This is how we should begin just let them in - We should let em all inBefore they're out. Pentience, forgiveness is the wordIf they been out then let them in - If there out let em in, let em begin to be heard

That background check, cant earn that check. let them in.The welfare line won't let them sign. Let them in.Can't get that loan to buy that home. Let them in.Old Sally Mae won't help you pay. Let them in.That ballot box, that ballot locked, let them in.No where to turn, so they return, and you or I....Might do the same, try on those shoes, open eyed.

In, just let them in. Before they're out. If they've been out then let them in. In, just let them in. Before they're out. If they've been out then let them in.
